Erin Rachel Doppelt

Let’s meet Jewish Person of the Week, Erin Rachel Doppelt

 

Where did you grow up?

I was born and raised in Highland Park and went to Highland Park High School. I went away to college at The University of Pittsburgh.  I decided to come back to Chicago because of Shorashim or “roots.” 

 

What are you passionate about?

After undergrad, I worked in corporate marketing in Chicago while leading immersive experiences to Israel and Europe in the summer. The happiness and health that comes as a side effect of a retreat led to me understanding that humans need regular reminders to take a step back and breath; we must have days that are different from our orderly regimented schedule.  I share positive psychology and emotional intelligence lunch and learns in the corporate space.
